It is all very simple: think of one computer with two RJ45 inputs, one connected to LAN, other to laptop, which needs access to LAN too. The problem is: I have only one cable to LAN and no extra switch. Is that only bridging to use? I would like to set up routing for that, because it seams simple enough for me (and I want to see how it can be done), but it turns out not so in practice today :( So do I have to use bridge in any case here? > Most distributions have an easy way to setup the bridge via the network > configuration files. > > If you actually need to set your machine as a router that's a different > issue.
